The first large-scale electricity storage project in Morocco is the 460 MW Afourer Pumped Storage Power Station ( PETS ), commissioned in 2004. It consists of a hydraulic system composed of two 1.3 million-m 3 water reservoirs connected by a pipeline with two hydroelectric production units between the basins.
It ensures the storage of electricity produced by renewable energies in order to adapt fluctuating supply to shifting demand. The first large-scale electricity storage project in Morocco is the 460 MW Afourer Pumped Storage Power Station ( PETS ), commissioned in 2004.
Morocco's electricity consumption in TWh . In 2018, Morocco installed 34% of renewable energy (i.e. 3,700 MW), divided as follows: 1,770 MW, 1,220 MW and 711 MW respectively originate from hydroelectricity, wind power and solar energy .
In this context, a number of measures to save energy and control energy consumption in various sectors (industry, buildings, agriculture, public lighting and transport) have been adopted in Morocco. To support energy efficiency programmes, Law 47-09 on energy efficiency was published in 2011 .
The Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy (MASEN) was set up specifically to execute these projects. Its mission is to implement all projects related to the National Energy Strategy and to co-ordinate and supervise all other activities connected with this initiative.
Beyond the advancement of renewable energy, Morocco’s policy initiatives encompass energy efficiency measures in challenging-to-abate sectors, such as building insulation and the adoption of energy-saving light bulbs. The overarching objective is to achieve a 20% reduction in overall energy consumption by 2030.

Solarcentury Africa Jason de Carteret, [email protected] Karim Bassatne, [email protected] . Solarcentury Africa is a market leader in the development of solar PV and storage projects with a decade of experience across multiple African countries. Solarcentury Africa is a. . BB Energy was established in 1937 and today is one of the world’s leading independent energy trading companies, with a fast-growing. [pdf]
Australia’s Syrah Resources has signed a deal with Solarcentury to install 11.2 MW of solar and an 8.5 MW battery storage system at a mine in Mozambique.
To date, Solarcentury Africa has developed, designed, installed and delivered multi-megawatt projects across several African countries. In October 2023, Solarcentury Africa completed its 11.25 MWp solar and 8.5 MWh battery hybrid system at the Balama Graphite Mine in Mozambique.
Furthermore, Solarcentury Africa is due to start construction of the 19 MWp Gerus solar plant in Namibia this year and has also received licenses to build a 120 MWp solar plant in Botswana and another 60 MWp solar plant in Namibia.
Since BB Energy acquired Solarcentury Africa in March 2021 it has become a key part of BB Energy’s renewable ambition. Solarcentury Africa’s integrated business model means it builds, owns and operates solar projects as well as managing the financial and commercial stages such as equity, debt, power purchase agreements and energy management.
Syrah Resources said it is trying to become the first non-Chinese, vertically integrated producer of natural graphite active anode materials. Mozambique’s total installed PV capacity remains negligible, standing at just 55 MW by the end of 2019, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Solarcentury Africa has over 800 MW of renewable projects under development through exclusive agreements, and an additional 4GW of solar projects in the pipeline.
